A saída do mar Báltico, usada por navios-tanque de portos russos, finlandeses e poloneses: 4,9 milhões de barris por dia no primeiro semestre de 2025. Navios de grande calado seguem a Rota T pelo Grande Belt, com cerca de 17 m de profundidade no melhor caso e até 2 m a menos às vezes. Nenhum calado máximo oficial é publicado, e um prático é recomendado a partir de 11 m. O atalho do canal de Kiel só recebe navios-tanque pequenos.
